Evaluation of Pacemaker Algorithms to Avoid Unnecessary Right Ventricular Pacing (ADVANTAGE)

April 7, 2017 updated by: Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen

AV-Hysteresis Versus Mode Switch to AAI (MVP) for the Avoidance of Unnecessary Right Ventricular Pacing

Unnecessary right ventricular pacing has been shown to be detrimental in recipients of implantable pacemaker or defibrillators.

The ADVANTAGE study evaluates the efficacy of two pacemaker based algorithms (atrioventricular hysteresis function versus mode switch to atrial pacing) to reduce right ventricular pacing.
